This Northern Grape (Grape God x 89 NL5) is currently at day 12. This is a clone of seed plant I harvested about 2 months ago. She smoked awesome, but her stretch was just out of control. To fix that I dosed here with Deuce Deuce and chopped her back to just her 4 main colas, cleaning off the bottom stuff too.

I did some modified LST, tying out those main branches perpendicular to the bucket and letting them turn back up to the light (Use to just call this pegging, but I'm sure the young whipper snappers have some technical term for it now, lol). Opened up her interior and she's now 7 mains with a lot of nice sub branching coming up from inside. All those little shoots will be nice little colas of their own. Snipped some shoots off her today too and set them to root.



This little Gorilla Grape F3 is 4 days into 12/12, no sex yet. Running with just 3 weeks from sprout in a 1 gal bucket, just doing its thing all natural. Got quite a few in flower right now that got that same treatment so I can get on the new schedule.

Jealous man

Whoa-man

Lol what

I need to get some of that be purple

you and me both, brother, you and me both!! Looking fantastic, Mel, as usual!

I have a buddy who owns a shirt shop, had him make up some black Melvanetics T's for me. He's going to set up an etsy link so if anyone is interested they can order one. Any money made on them will go directly into my moving west savings account. When he has the link set up I'll share it, if anyone is interested.

Got a whole slew of new babies up and running. Buckeye Purple, Buckeye Jack, Dead Diesel, 89 NL5, and Bodhi Genius Thai



And the formerly rootbound LiquidKid Bubba Chunk is very happy to be in the big bucket, all greened up and putting on new growth already. Such a resilient pheno.

The root bound Liquid Kid's Bubba Chunk is now at day 5 of flower. Sure doesn't take this pheno long to recover from stress that's for sure. I have 6 cuts of her rooting in the trays already too.



Transplanted 3 Bodhi Genius Thais (Genius cut of Apollo 11 x Lemon Thai) from their solo cups to finishing pots. 21 days old. I had originally planned to just do the normal step up to 1 gals, but the root development was so strong and healthy there was no reason why they couldn't handle the bigger pots. bodhi gifted me his very last pack of these with the promise I'd make stash beans. Not enough seed to pheno hunt, so I'll be making stash with whatever shows here and let people pheno hunt the F2s themselves.



And some of my Buckeye Jacks (98 Jack Herer x Buckeye Purple). Culled out one that had weak root production, moved the other 3 to their 1 gals, also 21 days old.

love ur work very nice looking plants

Some shots of favorite gals outdoors. All were topped 1x while under the T5 indoors, been out in there holes about 2 weeks.

Bodhi Goji OG F3 (aka Boysenberry)



And my Buckeye Purple mother.

The formerly root bound Liquid Kid Bubba Chunk at day 13.



My Northern Grape day 25. You would never know by looking at her that all that is coming off just the top 4 main branches. She has so much branching at the nodes, I bet she'd fill a screen super quick.

All Bodhi from the veg room in this update.

First up is Goji OG F3 clone (aka Boysenberry). 9 days ago she went from cup to 3 gal bucket. Topped 1x. I know she grows big, so I pegged her out today to head off height issues I'll have in flower. I'll most likely re-peg her in about a week and pinch the tops of the colas that will start growing from the nodes now. Thinking she should be in flower in 2 weeks.



Next we have Bodhi Genius Thai 39 days old from seed. They were all topped a couple of days ago. All are pretty uniform with tight nodes and strong branching growth. They're still riding the full veg train under the T5s.

Pheno #1 I believe the leaf taco on this pheno is from the high heat and rh in the veg room the last week or so. We've been having such a cool summer up until now that I haven't had to turn the a/c on in the veg, but I sucked it up and turned it on today.



Pheno #2



Pheno #3



And all 3 together under the lights (background on the right is another Bodhi gal, Hippy Slayer)

Northern Buckeye (Buckeye Purple x 89 NL5) day 30. This gal had just 3 weeks from sprout to flip, so she's an itty bitty xmas tree running in a 1 gal pot. Got herself some Neptune's Seaweed & GroTek Heavy Bloom today. She's smelling sweet and funky.

Bodhi Hippy Slayer clone went from solo cup to 3 gal bucket 11 days ago. Gave her a haircut today and set the cuts to root. She's pruned to 10 main tops now, so I won't be chopping on her anymore. Looking at about 2 weeks until she flips.

Before her haircut



After her haircut and the rooting cuts.



At 35 days of veg 2 of the Bodhi Genius Thai have shown sex. #1 showed as male, so I cleaned off all his growth except the branching at the top 2 nodes. I'll use the bread bag when I make the stash beans, so I only need a few to work with, and I for sure don't need him taking up any more room than is necessary in the flower room.



#3 showed as female. I cleaned all the shoots from her lower 3 nodes and set them to root and gave her tops a pinch above the first alt nodes. She should be at 12 mains now, so no more pruning. Her shoots at the nodes grow really fast and have long stems, so I'm pretty confident I'm going to have stretch issues when she gets under the 1k. Pinching to bush her out will help some, but I'm also going to hit her with Humboldt Nutrients Deuce Deuce a couple times over the next couple weeks, try and head the stretch off a little more with product.

Had a Buckeye Jack (98 Jack Herer x Buckeye Purple) in a 1 gal show as a male today, day 5. Nice looking guy for a small plant. Stems are thick, nodes are tight. But, not hunting males right now so in the creek he went.

Some porn shots of a Northern Buckeye (Buckeye Purple x 89 NL5) day 47. She's not putting on the pretty colors that other gals from this seed batch have shown, but her buds are larger than any of her sisters. She has that sweet garbage NL5 smell just coming off her in waves too, very stinky.

Bodhi Hippy Slayer hit the bloom room today.

Bodhi Goji OG F3 (aka Boysenberry) day 3



Hippy Slayer day 10



And the 2 Genius Thai gals are 3 days in. #2 (plant on the left) hit the 1k and started stretching immediately. As Ozzy likes to say, Put her in some major bondage today. #3 is fine for now, hasn't started her stretching yet. Self-supporting at this point, but I doubt that will last. Branching is thinner that it should be to support the buds to come.

The Bodhi Genius Thai girls are both at day 11 of flower. The #2 pheno has had to have her bondage adjusted almost every other day. She really put on some fast stretch when she hit the 1k. I've got her tied down 100 ways to Sunday.



#3 pheno is still supporting herself and holding a bushier structure. Her amount of stretch is about 1/2 that of her sister. Both have just started to put out their pistils



Bodhi Goji OG F3 aka Boysenberry is also at day 11. I'm still getting adjusted to the Neptune's Harvest feed, so she's dark from over feeding. She'll be on just water for a bit. Also a shot of this same pheno in the od.



And last, one of my Buckeye Jacks at day 28. She's running as a single cola plant in a 1 gal bucket, had 3 weeks from sprout to flip. I had 2 in flower this round, but one showed as true herm at day 21.

Buckeye Purple mom day 13 today. Pushing out that purple.



And a shot of her with one of her daughters, which is at day 4 of flower. Both are in 1 gal buckets. @ozzydiodude remember the seed starts that had been in their cups 50 days, daughter is one of those.

Buckeye Jack day 55. I wish I had a better camera to catch the color. To the naked eye she is very pink. Buds are nicely firm and she smells like the Jack Herer mom.

speaking of buckeyes, mel, those dang frosty buckeyes? I had my first one pop soil yesterday, 48 hours after being soaked. I think its a record for me, freaking quick vigirous little bugger!! Can't wait to grow this out, Melvan, love ya!!!!

4U, I chopped her that day, day 55. She's hanging right now.

Phil, I've had a lot of fun hunting those Frosty Buckeyes, every gal in there has been a different plant, she is the epitomy of a polyhybrid, lol. One thing though, all have had pretty colors work their way in towards the ends, pretty pastel pinks and purples and most have had that crazy frost from Madd's Strawberry Frost.
